Sean Forker (born August 29, 1985) is the Founder of Anomalis Entertainment, Independent Bigfoot Researcher, and Vice President of the American Bigfoot Society. He is a resident of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Sean began his research at the very young age of 10, when his father gave him a copy of the book "Sasquatch the Apes Among Us" by John Green. He began to assimilate everything he could on the subject. He researched local woods during his teen years, what he considers amateur fieldwork. Sean did not begin serious field work until 2005, when he became an Investigator for the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society. This is where he would meet the man he considers his mentor, Eric H. Altman, Director of that organization.
While listening to "The 'X' Zone Radio Show w/ Rob McConnell", world renowned Bigfoot researcher; also at the time an alleged hoaxer, Tom Biscardi, toted about pictures he claimed to have received photos that were "PROOF POSITIVE" in the existence of Bigfoot.
Upon viewing these pictures, Sean knew the source of these photos. Together with fellow researcher Pat Knetzer, they put an end to the tall tale being dealt to the public. After weighing the new evidence, a grateful Rob McConnell asked them to appear on his show.
A new partnership was formed when Sean began to do a monthly segment, lasting until November 2006, called "The Sightings of Sasquatch/ Bigfoot". Over the course of several months, Rob and Sean discussed recent Sasquatch activity, reported encounters old and new, and addressed hoaxing and its repercussions. This segment partially culminated to the "Is It Real" Debate regarding the infamous 1967 Filming of a Bigfoot by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. As the subject matter began to lose interest with the public, Sean and Rob mutually decided to do shows on Bigfoot less often, and the segment is now on hiatus.
During the course of 2005, Sean founded the American Bigfoot Society. The group was comprised of several researchers from different states, all sharing common goals and frustrations. As the group grew in size, and with the aforementioned appearances on 'The X Zone", he also became the 'Voice of the American Bigfoot Society'. The group has not wavered in its principal goal of the free share of information, something Sean is most proud of. Today he serves as Vice President.
The Sasquatch Experience
With the experience gathered from "The 'X' Zone", and the need to get decent information out to the public, Sean and fellow researcher Henry May created "The Sasquatch Experience". The show is was hosted by Sean Forker and Henry May; with Melissa Hovey and James Baker joining in year two.
The show aired Sunday at 9pm ET. The show premiered on October 8th, 2006. Guests have included Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum; Associate Professor of Anthropology at Idaho State University and author of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, and John Green; the grandfather of Sasquatch Research, author of Sasquatch the Apes among Us. The special two hour show with John Green was the ultimate fulfillment of a dream for Sean, as it was Green who was his inspiration to get involved with this research.
